Saving earth and rock rings from ubiquitous bulldozers
Cultural landscapes and braided knowledge
Building a more holistic understanding of people, place and Country

"Aboriginal rings are circular, earth (or rock) features that are preserved at increasingly fewer locations across eastern Australia today."

"Braided knowledge approaches build authentic, respectful and reciprocal partnerships with Indigenous community that involve their participation in all aspects."

"...Braided knowledge approaches are lacking from studies of large, circular features known as Aboriginal earth (or rock) rings in Australia. These rings are only known to occur in Queensland, New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria. It is estimated that over 400 rings once existed in NSW and Queensland, but only a quarter remain today (Bowdler Citation2001). Many rings were destroyed following European colonisation, and land development, and those that do remain are vulnerable and fragile (Marks Citation1968; Ponosov Citation1965:69–70; Strong Citation2016; see also Bashta Citation2016). The word bora has been adopted broadly from the language of the Gamilaroi people of NSW and southern Queensland to describe both rings and associated ceremonies across eastern Australia (Fuller et al. Citation2013:30)."

Heritage for whom? A critical view of #UNESCO and #cultural #imperialism
#Human rights, enshrined in international law and championed by organisations like the United Nations #Educational, #Scientific and #Cultural #Organisation (UNESCO), a body responsible for #education #science and #culture are often perceived as universal principles #safeguarding the #dignity and #freedoms of individuals #worldwide. However, a critical examination reveals a complex interplay of power dynamics, #historical biases and #cultural #hegemony embedded within the #conceptualisation and #implementation of these #rights.

This article asserts that Western notions of #heritage heavily influence the current approach and fail to reflect the true essence of heritage for local #communities. Rooted in the #colonial era, this #Western approach emphasises tangible elements like #buildings and #artefacts. Therefore, the role of UNESCO within #ThirdWorld countries possibly preserves another global heritage: the #legacy of #colonialism in the Global South.
